A Friendly Settlement OF the Fish-
cries Dispute.

LONDON, Jan. 2S-It is learned, on
good authority. that U. s. Minister
Phelps had an interview with Lord
Salisbury on Friday, at the lat.
ter's request. on the fishery disputes.
The meeting is said to have been of
the most cordial nature. Lord Sails
bury expressed himself as highly
gratified with the general tone OF the
American press in regard to the troub-
lie He also assured Mr.. Phelps that
both England and Cans ada were desir-
Gus equally of friendly and amicable
settlement of the existing differences.
In the House of Commons, Friday, it
was stated that the Government was
in conference with the U. s. on the
! fisheries question The rights of the
colonists would be strictly maintained,
but with every desire to conciliate the
Americans. A pacific dispatch had
been received from Washington which
afforded material grounds for the hope
tha at q final amicable settlement wOuld
! be reached.
HALIFAX, Jan. 27,-HOn. M. 8.
Phelan, United States Consul General ,
does not believe the Canadian author
tiles will act so harshly again as they
did last season, and is of the opinion
that orders will be issued to comman-
ders OF cruisers to give more freedom
to American fishermen. He is partly
led to hold this belief by the decided
front taken by Congress, which he
considers will have the effect of show
ing Canada that the United States dc
not intend to be trified with. While
nobody expects warlike conflict, the
public generally are now giving more
serious attention to the attitude of the
United States Congress on the fisher
les question.

Correspondence OF the Yorkville Enquirer.
LETTER FROM FORT MILL.

FORT MILL, May 23.-We are having
plenty of rain, which has fallen so nicely
as not to wash land or injure crops. A
friend suggests that on the 18th OF May
of last year, the wet season set it.. 1t began
to rain this veal on the 10Th and has con
tinued. We hope the similitude will not
continue to a harmful extent.
Everything pertaining to the construc-
ton of the factory and tenements is pro-
crossing satisfactorily. There will be one
hundred and four looms and a correspond
ing capacity of spindles in the building,
which is to be go feet long by l50 feet
wide, according to our best information.
Hon. w. H. Stewart has the contract for
the brick work, and is now making a Kiln.
Messrs. Holler and Bradford have each a
certain number of tenements to build.
I see from the papers that the State
Press Association will meet in Charleston
on the End proximo, and that among
other things they will consider the moral
effect of sensational publications. Just
here permit the suggestion to another
matter, and 1 hope you will urge it. 1t is
mention of the movements of private in
dividuals in their daily walk, and bring
ing forward the names of modest young
ladies when they may possibly wish rest
and retirement. In large cities, when a
young lady visits a resident friend the
fact is often announced by request of that
friend; because acquaintance are so nu-
merous and so scattered that they are more
easily notified in this way of willingness
to receive calls, and the giving ola public,
costly reception is avoided but in a small
country town or hamlet it is an easy mat
ter to give a small reception or extend
invitations to call. The present practice
has become abominable. However much

RAILROAD NOTES.

Col. r. A. johnson, the general manager OF 1.-THE
Massachusetts and Southern Construction Com
pany, arrived here last Friday evening from
Columbia, and at once entered upon the task
of adopting q route through town and desig-
mating the site for the station and the depot.
His decision was made on Saturday night.
The route adopted is practically the second
survey entering town on the south side. 1t
crosses the Chester and Lenoir Railroad on the
lands of j. W.. P. Hope, near the Lowry burnt
house lot, a mile below the Court House,
passing thence through the lands of John A.
Latta, and running some distance parallel with
and between the Chester and Lenoir Railroad
and the public highway. Crossing the high
way, the line bears east through lands of Mr..
Latta, S. Rufus Moore, Rev. L. A. Johnson, and
the dwelling house lot of J. S. Lewis, where
it intersects Church street. From the intersec-
ton with this street the track will be laid in the
centre of the street, which it follows to Liberty
street, crossing at the "Meek house, corner,
east of the M. e. Church, entering upon the
vacant lot of John L. Watson, north of Liber-
ty street thence through Green McAfee's lot,
thence through the northwest corner of a
vacant lot owned by w. C. Latimer, and
thence through lot of Mrs. Mary a. Withers,
connecting with the main line. 1t is under
stood that the passenger station will be on the
Watson lot, and the freight depot some dis
lance north of that, on the east side of Church
street and opposite the cemetery.
Capt. Ramsaur and corps came up from
their camp near Rock Hill on Monday after
noon and will enter Immediately upon making

young ladies love to be courted and ad-
mired, and it is natural that they should,
still their innate modesty revolts at a her,
aldic proclamation of their charms and
movements. Besides, a city belle may
seek solitude with a country friend; but
the social ghoul of the press prevents.
Another matter, that might we'll be consid-
cred, is the latent stabin the back inflicted
or attempted by some would-be wits who
have neither sense nor propriety nor abili-
ity of expression. They covertly attack
by use of inuendoes and ~insinuations in a
way to excite inquiry as to who and what
are meant. Thus, without publishing a
libel, they are in a self-placed situation
to deal out scandal to inquiring mongers
in that sweet morsel. A good harmless
jokei is healthful sometimes, and some spice
is at all times appreciate but these tools
oughtnot to be welded by ignorant hands.

STRuCK BY LIGHTNING.

During a rain, hail and wind storm, on Thurs
day night last, between II and II o'clock, the
building of the Cherokee Falls cotton mill, on
Broad River near Blacks, was struck Wight
ming. The bolt entered a window Of the spin
ming room, doing no other damage to the build
ing than to shatter the glass of the window,
though some waste cotton in the room was ig-
nited by the lightning. The blaze was extin-
guished before any loss resulted.
At the same time, the residence, near by, OF
r. P. Roberts, secretary Of the company, was
struck. Three lamentations were made in the
roof, a corner-post of the room occupied at
the time by Mr.. Roberts and his wife, was shat
tered, some of the weatherboarding splintered
and a portion of the plastering of the room
knocked off.
At the same time a heavy rain fell at this
place, and southwest of town the wind was
heavy, though no serious damage is reported.

SENTENCED TO BE HANGED.-An Ok
ford, n. c., letter of the 10th gives the
following account of the result Of a GRIM
inal trial which has attracted considerable
public attention:
The case of the negro Taborn for burgla-
ry and attempted assault on Mrs. Pat.
Booth, has caused a good deal of excite
ment here. The Booths are of a high So
cial position, and it is a great wonder that
the negro was not lynched at once. The
jury was chosen from a special venire of
POO men and was composed of ten negroes
and two whites. The trial was a very fair
one and the prisoner had the benefit of
able counsel. The States witnesses gave
very strong and direct evidence. The de-
PENDANT introduced no evidence at all.
Yesterday Sunday the jury returned a
verdict of guilty, and this morning the
Court sentenced Taborn to be hanged on
the 18th of June. The negro still protests
his innocence. Yesterday another negro
was arrested, charged with burning Oxford
on the 18th of March. He is a brother to
the negro sentenced to be hanged. There
is strong evidence against him. It is al
legged that the burning of the town was
instigated by the brother in retaliation for
the arrest of Taborn on the charge of
burglary and criminal assault.

WEDNESDAY, MAY rs, 1887.
WEEKLY CROP REPORT.

Under date of last Sunday the Signal
Office at Washington issued the following
weather crop report for the week ending
May 21st:
During the week the weather has been
warmer than usual in all the agricultural
districts east of the Rocky Mountains, ex.
cept in Florida and Texas, where the de.
fciency in temperature averages about q
degrees, a daily average OF about 3 de'
grees below the normal. From the Mis-
sissippi Valley eastward to the Atlantlc
coast the excess of temperature Tor tne
week was from Is to so degrees, a daily
average of about 5 degrees warmer than
nsual' The excess of temperature for the
season previously reported in the Eas,
Gulf States, Tennessee, the central Missis'
sippi and lower Missouri Valleys has been
increased by the warm weather OF the
past week, while the deficiency of temper
ature previously reported for the season in
the wheat and corn growing regions north
of the Ohio river and upper lake region,
Iowa and Minnesota has been reduced,
thus leaving the thermal conditions IN
these sections at the close of the week near
the normal.
During the week there has been a def
Gent fall in all sections east of the Mis-
sissippi Valley, while slight excuses are
reported in Texas, Northern Arkansas and
Central Dakota. The deficiency in rain
fall for the season is general, the only sec.
tions reporting excess being Northern
New England, Ohio, Western Pennsyl;
vania, Northern Dakota, Oregon and
Washington Territory. The large deh'
cheney in rainfall previously reported in
the Southern States east of the Mississip.
ri continues. In the cotton region east OF
the Mississippi more rain is needed, out
recent showers and warm weather leave
the crop in a favorable condition.
In the West Gulf States the excellent
weather of the past week has improved
the crop conditions, except in northern
Arkansas, where too much rain is reported
In the grain regions of the Ohio Valley
and in Missouri, Kansas and Nebraska,
the weather during the week has been
generally favorable for corn and wheat.
In Michigan, Wisconsin and Minnesota
and northern Illinois, the weather has
been reported as favorable, but crops are
likely to be injured owning to the abb
sence of rain. Telegraphic reports receiv-
ed this morning, Sunday, May y, show
that local rains have fallen during the past
eight hours in sections where they are
most needed as follows: Minnesota,
Wisconsin, Michigan, Dakota and kansas.
